Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the cooked chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Serving
  1. Serve the honey garlic chicken immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
